    Another pub and catch up night. We choose here because it's convenient but overall it's a nice pub. Staff are friendly and as long as you don't go on quiz night it's a good place for a catch up. My only grip is the lack of draft beer. Only Doom Bar on which is sad as the green kings ice breaker IPA is lovely so would be great to see this added to the options

    We have found our new family get together spot. We were a table of 6, and we are all fussy about our food. The food was fantastic, really good sized portions and everything was delicious. We all enjoyed it. Food and drink are both very reasonably priced. The young lady who served us at the bar, Tash, is an absolute breath of fresh air. Genuinely engaging with the customers, and remembered our table number when we didn't, as well as the wine that one of our party ordered previously when we forgot to ask them. She event went out of her way to find a candle for the birthday girls cake and had the entire place sing her happy birthday. Great job guys, we will most definitely be back again.

    First this review is for the food & not the bar staff. A special mention to Tash who was 5*, haviving great customer service skills & went the extra mile to make my wife a special non-alchoholic drink. THE FOOD Ordered our meal & after 30mins sweing people who had ordered after us getting their meals went to enquired where it was, to be told it's on its way. Asked again after 45nins to be told that there was no order for our table & it must of been lost? An hour later the food came out my wife's sizzler wasn't sizzling (she was that hungry she accepted it) & my mixed grill arrived to be told by the waitress that it was incomplete & as the waitress put it on the table I noticed someone's hair on it. I refused my meal straight away & sent it back. I went to the bar & asked to see the duty manager to cancel my meal, who after listening to my complaint & checking with the kitchen refunded the cost of my meal. A real shame, to what should of been a relaxing meal out with my wife, who had not eaten for over 24hrs, due to a hospital procedure.

    Would like the say a massive thank you to the lovely young lady called Tash, my friend and I popped in there last for a drink with our doggies, she made us feel so welcome and made a big fuss over our dogs who loved her. This made our night as we had a not so nice experience in another local pub were we had been treated so rudely. You have a true gem working there, will go again for sure

    Food and drinks are reasonably priced and the staff are friendly. It's a busy pub, so I'd recommend you book a table. We had gammon, chicken burger, belly pork and steak and all meals were good. Not much selection on ales, so I had to stick with Doombar, which is a decent pint. It's mainly a lager pub.

    My friend and I have come here on a Tuesday evening for a meal for a long time. We came On 5th April at 4.30 for our usual burger and a gin. Food took ages to come and we had to ask where ours were as 2 other tables who came after us were served before us. They then brought the food which was lukewarm , we were hungry so ate half anyway. The cheese looked plastic and hadn't melted on burger which shows the temperature of it. Hope this was a one off as we liked coming here , but we were disappointed. The menu has changed not as it was before.

    Ruined my sons birthday emailed company got 1 reply wasn't happy with I have emailed again no reply obviously the company are as well mannered as the bar staff very rude won't be returning Added after your reply the way that this woman spoke to us was absolutely disgusting to say if he was caught again we would be thrown out but as in your email you denied this. But am I right a young person is allowed wine larger ect 1 drink with food as long as they didn't buy it and they was with an adult and eating food.and this was the case. And I did email you this but you did not bother to reply

    This pub is my local for a reason! The food is always to the highest standard and reliably yummy. The staff really do make the experience though. Constantly there to cater to your every need, especially Tash. She is so attentive and always so friendly and does everything with a smile on her face. Thank you so much to Tash and the acorn for always making my time there great xx

    Solid pub, extended family came here for breakfast. Staff helped move tables around to suit an older lady who needed a certain type of table for mobility and wanted to sit in a particular bay. Nobody quivered and made it happen for us so she was very happy we could all sit together for her birthday breakfast she asked for. Everyone was happy with all things bought. Definitely be coming again and again. Never been let down.

    Purchased 2 Senior Meals. A Diet Coke and a cloudy lemonade. Was told the cloudy lemonade was not included in the price after it was poured out and when I questioned the cost. You need a magnifying glass to read the ** writing at the bottom of the menu. It actually states Lemonade (but not cloudy. I was charged Β£2.60 not even an allowance for not having an inclusive drink. My wife’s meal was great but I was only after it finished mine I looked at the menu again to find there should have been a pineapple ring with it. There wasn’t!! I don’t like confrontation so left it at that as I’d actually finished the meal.

    We where a group of 6 and the food was all served together and lovely and hot. The pub was really busy and we had a good night

  • 4/5 Peter C. 3 months ago on Google New
    Was quite full when we got there due to parties taking place. Staff where very friendly but the pub was so loud with very shouty girls/women trying to drown out everyone else. This obviously killed any atmosphere and lots of people where obviously annoyed at the racket they made. Ordered at the bar very quickly though, and when the food arrived it looked really nice, was piping hot and tasted great. I'm not a killjoy and like people to enjoy themselves, but on this occasion, I do think the staff should have stepped in and asked them to quieten down a bit but understand what why they didn't.

  • 4/5 Christine L. 6 months ago on Google
    Food was lovely as usual and great value. Only thing that spoiled the evening was the state of the chairs which were disgusting. The two chairs at our table were both ripped and the stuffing was showing through. We had to walk around the pub trying to find chairs that were not ripped or stained. How on earth could management and staff walk by knowing that people were going to sit on them and do nothing ?? I always make an effort and wear something nice when going out for a meal. Those chairs would rip and soil clothing. It would put us off inviting friends.

    We have previously had nice meals here but last night we ordered the chicken and rump steak. The steak was awful. Dry, overcooked full of gristle that I gave up trying to eat it. The table was so sticky and wine glass dirty. I appreciate it was busy but still no excuse for poor food and being unclean. Staff were rushed being so busy so I fully understand that they can only do what they can do. But not a great experience.

  • 1/5 Alan J. 6 months ago on Google
    Went here for my birthday meal. It was very quiet and unclean with various napkins on the floor. There was no steaks, 14oz gammon or jacket potatoes to order. The staff are not the best, we asked for 2 x 7oz gammon steaks to make it a 14oz, but they said we can not do that. They tried to sell a side salad to us, even though the meal can with salad... Then a member of staff came out with some new legislation, that my children can not stand by me on the fruit machine. I did ask if it was a new company policy, but its not law. They stated its law that children can not be in a place that is visible to a fruit/gaming machine... I fully understand that under 18's can not play category C machines, and staff should monitor the situation. I will not be attending here again.

    The food was absolutely brilliant, more like 'delish' if you ask me! I'd definitely consider coming again!

    The table that was reserved was dirty, empty glass was left on the table. There was a few sticky patches. My food was cold. Can’t complain on the service, friendly staff. Food was brought out within a reasonable time. The front of the pub was ok but lots of empty glasses and rubbish were left on several tables

  • 3/5 vicky s. 9 months ago on Google
    Food has actually improved and quantity is better. However service is appalling, girl behind bar constantly serving regulars even though I was stood there for over 10 minutes waiting and so slow. Plates left on adjourning table the whole time we were there. Seats ripped.

  • 5/5 Livi P. 11 months ago on Google
    Vegan breakfast was amazing! Also beyond meat burger is really good. Only 1 vegan pudding and it's banana flavoured. Lots of choice for vegetarians (including fussy kiddies). Will definitely go back again.

  • 1/5 Kitty D. 6 months ago on Google
    I took my mum and dad into this pub as it looks lovely outside. We went in at 11.25 and got our cold, supposed to be hot breakfasts at 11.55. We had drank our tea and asked for a refill to swill our breakfast down as is allowed no refills available due to the time it took for our breakfast. Worst breakfast and worse service. Vile I will never return.

  • 5/5 John M. 2 years ago on Google
    This is my local pub, although I don't get there very often. My wife was out with her mates so I decided to take my kids 7 year old and 4 year old. Service was fast, staff friendly. Pub was clean and the food was good. I don't understand people who leave a 1 star review because the food wasn't perfect. Its not like you're spending Β£200 at a fancy restaurant. My kids got a meal deal, fish fingers, chips and corn. The other got the chicken bites, chips and corn. A drink each and a massive ice cream desert thrown in for Β£4.99 each! Can't complain. I had the chicken platter and a pint of strong bow dark fruits. The platter was massive and the pint was loverly, cold and crisp, just what I needed, All this for little over 20 quid! Food was hot and good quality for a pub menu and I've got to say, we didn't leave a scrap of food. Thanks again for a good service and nice meal

    Good easy app for outside ordering fast service and good pub food

  • 4/5 Andy M. 2 years ago on Google
    The service at the Acorn is always fast and efficient. Outdoor table service is still as good as it was a year ago and the ordering app is easy to use. The food is hot and tasty and the choices are broad. Drinks come promptly before food and each course comes in the order you would expect if ordering multiple courses at once. A good, solid choice for food and drink for all ages.

  • 5/5 Ellie G. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely food with great prices. Staff were very friendly, especially Connor L and Phill, both ensuring that I was happy with my meal. A very friendly and welcoming pub. I’ll be sure to return soon!

  • 3/5 Yvonne P. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a group of 7 and food arrived after 40 mins, it was hot me & hubby had 2 meals for Β£10. But 2 half glasses of lemonade cost Β£4.90 we both had gammon egg pineapple chips & garden peas, the gammon was really tasty but the chips weren't great. But overall we had great company and an enjoyable evening

    Been a couple of times to the Acorn and its always been a lovely place to eat. Food is great and the portion sizes are more than enough. Staff are always friendly and helpful.

  • 5/5 Ellie H. 1 year ago on Google

  • 2/5 carolyn o. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was really disappointing. My burger was burnt as was the bacon. Even the chips tasted burnt and covered in salt. My daughter couldn't cut the chicken fillet with her knife she had to use a steak knife. I've had some lovely family meals here but I won't be back in a hurry... I was surprised it wasn't busy on a Sunday afternoon now I know why. Really gone down hill.

  • 5/5 Nathalie L. 1 year ago on Google
    Visited for tea with the family, food was delicious, piping hot and steaks cooked to perfection. Staff were friendly, polite and helpful. Will definately be recommending to friends.

  • 5/5 sue m. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Glyn β€œEvo” E. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff are so helpful. For a chain pub the food was fine. Can't really say a bad thing about the place other than it's too far to walk home from. Tash was a brilliant waitress.

  • 4/5 Edward L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great light airy place. Love the mixed grill. 1st time in years I've been but someone treated me to a meal. Would definitely go again.
